I think this new 'affordable' commercial van might be smaller than the Transit, possibly based on the Maverick platform (which is already available as a hybrid). Something more along the lines of the Transit Connect. No idea about the future of the E series. 650/750 sales continue to tumble and Ford doesn't seem too concerned, I guess they sell enough 450 through 600 chassis-cabs. My guess is the 650 and 750 will continue until Ford needs the plant space for something else, like maybe this 'affordable' commercial van. Converting the Tennesse plant to trucks makes sense right now. The battery energy storage business sounds like a way to justify money already spent on EV battery production that Ford will not be able to use. It will be interesting to see how serious Ford will be in this new business. My guess is not very and it will either not happen (more write-offs) or be sold off. Agreed. I suspect Ford is finally going to bring over the mid-sized Transit Custom.

Quite possible, but I have heard rumors of a van based on the Maverick platform. I'll wager the E series will soldier on.
